I knew about this restaurant before but never thought about trying it out, the 5$ price is appealing but I was always a bit sceptical of the portions. Decided to take the plunge on a Friday afternoon after biking all day. Me and my boyfriend were ravenous and everything on the menu looked good. We both got the burger but I opted for a side of mac and cheese and fries, he got the salad and the 7$ option of the burger (which comes with a pickle).
The food was delicious, a really good burger and an even better mac and cheese. I wish the portion was bigger and that you could order it as a meal instead of a side. (You need to order a meal to be able to order a side of something).
The restaurant is nice and busy. It has its unique quality to it. The place mats are old vinyl's. But there were some low points: I didn't like the music they were playing and the service was horribly slow. I mean we waited 30 minutes before our order was taken and the waitress forgot our order so she had to come back which meant our food hadn't even started to be prepared. But the girl was new and I understand the difficulties of any new job so I didn't hold that against her or the rating of the overall restaurant experience.
The portions are adequate. Since I added the macaroni, it was honestly a bit too much. I'm a light eater, I eat little portions but a lot of them. But some people need to eat a lot and not as often, so I would recommend ordering more food if you are one of those people. Since everything is cheap, it's not really a stretch to order more. The burger didn't fill up my boyfriend at all.
I would go back, it was good food, good price, overall great experience.
